| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ligamentous injury in sports, such as non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, occurs in quite short period of time. It is thus difficult to prevent such injuries in feedback manner. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the predictive postural control contributes to reduce the risk of athletic injuries.
Firstly we evaluated the trainability of the predictive postural control performance during single-landing task and found that the dual-task training (cognitive combined with postural task) effectively increased the postural stability after single-leg landing. Secondary, we conducted a training intervention for female athletes (N = 10). A significant decreases of the knee abduction angles during single-leg landing were observed after the eight-weeks training session, implying that the acquisition of predictive postural control plays an important role to correct the dynamic postural stabilization and may reduce the risk of knee ligament injuries.
